As you can see there was no MAJOR loss in the scale deparment!! I lost quite a few cm's which I am very HAPPY about, reassuring me that all my gym sessions and newest passion : cycling is not for nothing.

Today is S*P*R*I*N*G day here!! And boy, were we blessed with the most gorgeous, stunning warm day.

This challenge has brought about BIG changes:

* I am living healthy and making healthier choices.

* I L*O*S*T weight during winter. To date I have lost 16.4 Kg's (36.1 lbs) Woohoo!!

* I was more motivated than ever to get my bike and the universe provided.

* I am addicted to cycling.

* I took part in my first cycle fun ride (12 km's) and I wanted more.

* I signed up for the BIG one and paid the registration fee (no turning back) - the 94.7 km Cycle Challenge - Joburg's Toughest Race

* I signed up for 2 smaller rides, a 44 km and 33 km (both happening towards the end of September)

* There are still bad days but they do NOT set me back - I bounce back quicker!!

* I L*O*V*E green smoothies - especially first thing in the morning - they just make the day better. Give it a try!!

But the biggest thing to happen during these 60 days is the realisation that :

My bathroom scale does not D*E*F*I*N*E me!!

I am feeling great, I am losing weight - clothing does not L*I*E.....the scale does not tell the whole story!!

I'm looking forward to another 60 days.....I cannot weight to see those results :-))

Keep at it everyone....

Hugs
